We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

The main living room is positioned to the front of the property and features twin front-facing windows and a characterful fireplace, creating a comfortable and well-defined reception space.
The second reception room, created through the conversion of the former garage, provides a versatile additional living area with a dual aspect, together with a rear door opening directly onto the garden.
